Sometimes, when installing a pet package using the petget manager, a window warns that there is not enough space left on the disk. And often, there is enough space! I think that the reason is that the the units measuring the free space of the disk and the units of the estimated needed space are NOT the same. In fact, checking the output of the "stat" program, it can be seen that they are given in blocks of sizes 4096 and 512, respectively.
There is thus a factor 8 among them. Thus the required estimated space in petget is overestimated by this factor 8.
I suggest to change the line:

After changing to the Stardust theme shouldn't all the yellow be gone in the taskbar? I rarely use jwm so I'm not sure what I need to do to get it to change with the theme.

You must have used the JWM theme changer as well as the GTK theme changer. Yes, that would be a bug in the JWM theme that you have chosen, someone would have to fix that.
You can find the JWM configuration PET package on ibiblio, ...er no, I'll post it here as I have recently fixed something in it. Attached.

I use the network wizard, all is recognised and works fine. But after reboot, connection failed. Blinky shows one symbol with activity for wifi, but no second symbol like before for my wireless card. But the options window of blinky shows me that there are three network possibilities: wifi, ethernet and ath0 (my MSI pcmcia wireless card with atheros chipset).

When I run the network wizard again, I see that the profile of my wireless card exists but i have to choose it manually and resume the network wizard with configuration of dhcp. After that I can connect to the internet.

I use frugal install on a six year old dell d400 laptop with 128mb ram, 512 mb pupsave file on a 6 GB hdd, no cd or dvd drive. From version 2.14 up to version 3.01 there are no problems.

I hope you could understand my not so technical description and bad englisch. Sometimes I don't know the right terms and vocabulary.

In Puppy 3.01 I have observed that MUT will recognize and mount drives when Pmount does not. Which is to say, MUT seems to be bulletproof in Puppy 3.01, whereas Pmount in Puppy 3.01 is not. Why is that? Why is MUT always able to recognize and mount drives of any sort -- especially USB mass storage devices (DVD/CDrom, external HD, flash, and so forth), while Pmount sometimes does ... but not always.

Is a puzzle. A puzzle which only deepens when using both Puppy 4 alpha's.

Because MUT is not present in both alpha Puppy 4's and Pmount seems to be deficient in recognizing and mounting USB devices, I cannot recognize or mount any of my USB devices with Puppy 4 Pmount. Puppy 4 Pmount will not mount my current USB DVD/CDrom burners or USB external hard drives or my assorted USB flash drives. I have to use Puppy 3 or Puppy 3.01 (or earlier Puppy releases) to have MUT mount these otherwise bug-free and entirely effective USB DVD/CDrom burners, external USB HD's, and USB flash drives. Only MUT in Puppy 3 and earlier will reliably recognize USB drives of whatever sort, whereas Pmount is flaky, USB-wise. What does MUT have that Pmount does not have? Why does Pmount not recognize USB drives but the earlier Puppy releases with MUT will recognize ALL USB drives of whatever sort, and do so all the time?

Would it be a burden to include MUT in Puppy 4? If not, would it be a burden to fix the obvious USB bug in Pmount? Given that USB devices are so common and critical?

I am using dingo 392 running in ram from cd, on pentium 4 with 5112 of memory.

Impressed with ease of connecting to cable, liked the auto save, and the disappearance of having to nominate file size etc on first use.

On initial boot the screen had icons superimposed on each other, this ok on subsequent boots

On trying to load email client the desktop shows the program for about half a second then it disappears.

Contacts won't load

calendar claims
Another copy of OSMO is already running or it has been stopped uncleanly (in this case please remove '/root/.osmo/pid' file and try again).
Calc has similar fault to email, and the edit icon has a same issue., and I found after hitting initial OK in JWM the same problem
Cups found our epson cx5700F, which is a first.

So in brief hardware detection is great, but application loading seems to have a fault.
hope this helps

The fact that you have a 'contacts' desktop icon means that you have upgraded an existing pup_save file, which is expressly warned against in the release announcement on my blog. This early alpha is not ready for that, and your pup_save file is stuffed up.
Please read the instructions first.

I just tested 'CPU Zlib', it works and I don't have a /usr/lib/libz.so. ...but, what I do have is /lib/libz.so as I have the 'devx' file loaded. So, I need to put that into puppy when the devx file is not loaded. done.

'play', ah yes... what is needed is a verb, a "doing word" that means to play a video file
